1 Samuel 3

1 Nowe the childe Samuel ministred vnto the Lord before Eli: and the word of the Lord was precious in those dayes: for there was no manifest vision.

Otrok Samuel pa je pred Élijem služil Gospodu. V tistih dneh je bila Gospodova beseda dragocena; ni bilo odprtega videnja.

2 And at that time, as Eli lay in his place, his eyes began to waxe dimme that he could not see.

Pripetilo se je ob tistem času, ko se je Éli ulegel na svojem mestu in so njegove oči začenjale temneti, da ni mogel videti.

3 And yet the light of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the Arke of God was.

Preden se je ugasnila Božja svetilka v Gospodovem templju, kjer je bila Božja skrinja in se je Samuel ulegel k spanju,

4 Then the Lord called Samuel: and hee said, Here I am.

je Gospod poklical Samuela in ta je odgovoril: »Tukaj sem.«

5 And he ranne vnto Eli, and said, Here am I, for thou calledst me. But he said, I called thee not: goe againe and sleepe. And he went and slept.

Stekel je k Éliju in rekel: »Tukaj sem, kajti klical si me.« Ta pa je rekel: »Nisem klical, ponovno se ulezi.« In odšel je in se ulegel.

6 And the Lord called once againe, Samuel. And Samuel arose, and went to Eli, and said, I am here: for thou diddest call me. And he answered, I called thee not, my sonne: go againe and sleepe.

Gospod je ponovno poklical: »Samuel.« Samuel je vstal in odšel k Éliju ter rekel: »Tukaj sem, kajti klical si me.« Ta je odgovoril: »Nisem klical, moj sin, ponovno se ulezi.«

7 Thus did Samuel, before hee knewe the Lord, and before the word of the Lord was reueiled vnto him.

Torej Samuel še ni poznal Gospoda niti mu Gospodova beseda še ni bila razodeta.

8 And the Lord called Samuel againe the thirde time: and he arose, and went to Eli, and said, I am here: for thou hast called me. Then Eli perceiued that the Lord had called the childe.

Gospod je ponovno, tretjič, poklical Samuela. Ta je vstal, šel k Éliju in rekel: »Tukaj sem, kajti klical si me.« In Éli je zaznal, da je otroka klical Gospod.

9 Therefore Eli saide vnto Samuel, Goe and sleepe: and if he call thee, then say, Speake Lord, for thy seruant heareth. So Samuel went, and slept in his place.

Zato je Éli rekel Samuelu: »Pojdi, ulezi se in zgodilo se bo, če te pokliče, da boš rekel: ›Govori, Gospod, kajti tvoj služabnik posluša.‹« Tako je Samuel odšel in se ulegel na svojem mestu.

10 And the Lord came, and stoode, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speake, for thy seruant heareth.

Gospod je prišel in obstal ter poklical kakor ob drugih časih: »Samuel, Samuel.« Potem je Samuel odgovoril: »Govori; kajti tvoj služabnik posluša.«

11 Then the Lord said to Samuel, Beholde, I wil doe a thing in Israel, whereof whosoeuer shall heare, his two eares shall tingle.

Gospod je rekel Samuelu: »Glej, storil bom stvar v Izraelu, ob kateri bo v obeh ušesih vsakega, ki to sliši, zvenelo.

12 In that day I will raise vp against Eli all things which I haue spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an ende.

Na tisti dan bom zoper Élija izpolnil vse stvari, ki sem jih govoril glede njegove hiše. Ko pričnem, bom naredil tudi konec.

13 And I haue tolde him that I will iudge his house for euer, for the iniquitie which hee knoweth, because his sonnes ranne into a slaunder, and he stayed them not.

Kajti povedal sem mu, da bom na veke sodil njegovo hišo zaradi krivičnosti, ki jo on vé, ker sta se njegova sinova naredila nizkotna, on pa jima ni preprečil.

14 Nowe therefore I haue sworne vnto the house of Eli, that the wickednes of Elis house, shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offring for euer.

Zato sem prisegel Élijevi hiši, da krivičnost Élijeve hiše na veke ne bo očiščena niti s klavno daritvijo niti z darovanjem.«

15 Afterward Samuel slept vntil the morning, and opened the doores of the house of the Lord, and Samuel feared to shewe Eli the vision.

Samuel je ležal do jutra in odprl vrata Gospodove hiše. Samuel pa se je Éliju bal razodeti videnje.

16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel my sonne. And he answered, Here I am.

Potem je Éli poklical Samuela in rekel: »Samuel, moj sin.« Ta je odgovoril: »Tukaj sem.«

17 Then he said, What is it, that the Lord said vnto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from mee. God doe so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me, of all that he said vnto thee.

Rekel je: »Kaj je stvar, ki ti jo je Gospod povedal? Prosim te, da mi je ne prikriješ. Bog naj ti tako stori in tudi več, če pred menoj skriješ katerokoli stvar od vseh stvari, ki ti jih je povedal.«

18 So Samuel tolde him euery whit, and hid nothing from him. Then hee said, It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good.

Samuel mu je povedal vsak delček in ničesar ni skril pred njim. On pa je rekel: »To je Gospod. Naj stori, kar se mu zdi dobro.«

19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.

Samuel je rasel in Gospod je bil z njim in nobene izmed njegovih besed ni pustil pasti na tla.

20 And all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that faithfull Samuel was the Lordes Prophet.

Ves Izrael, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe, je vedel, da je bil Samuel utrjen, da bi bil Gospodov prerok.

21 And the Lord appeared againe in Shiloh: for the Lord reueiled himselfe to Samuel in Shiloh by his word.

Gospod se je ponovno prikazoval v Šilu, kajti Gospod se je v Šilu razodeval Samuelu po Gospodovi besedi.
